Located in southwestern Quebec, the town of Granby sits along one of the most beautiful networks of bike paths in Quebec. A town with a lively cultural scene, a vibrant downtown core and a commitment to the health and well-being of local residents, Mayor Bonin will illustrate how a long-term vision, as well as the development and promotion of its cycling network have led to over 28 years of success in community, economic and tourism development in the town of Granby and the larger Haute-Yamaska region of Quebec.
Through inspiring examples, like the creation of the open-air museum, Artria, along a local cycling route, Mayor Bonin will share insight into the local, regional and provincial partnerships, as well as the leadership needed to not only develop an attractive cycling network, but as local and provincial leader for the rescue of the government-funded maintenance program for Québec’s La Route Verte cycling network, also to maintain it for future generations.
